• DILL PIT <br />Exhibit B <br />2) The operator shall provide the following information: <br />a) A description of the vegetation and soil characteristics in the area of the <br />proposed operation acquired from the Elbert County NRSC. <br />Soil types are the Bresser-Truckton-Blakeland complex, 3 to 9 percent slopes, <br />map symbol BtD; Wiley and Colby soils, 5 to 18 percent slopes, map symbol WcE; and <br />Yoder-Truckton-Lismus complex, map symbol Yt. <br />The area vegetation and types and yields are included in this report. <br />Provided by Ben Hendrix, District Conservationist, stationed at the Simla Field office in <br />Simla, Colorado. <br />The vegetation is made up of short grass pasture, comprised of native <br />vegetation such as blue gramma and buffalo grass. <br />b) Identify each man-made structure within two hundred (200) feet of the <br />affected area and the owner of each structure. <br />The only man-made structure on or within two hundred (200) feet of the <br />• affected area is County Road 189 (Elbert County) and barb wire fences (Geneva Rogers), <br />and, if needed, the applicant will make an agreement with the Elbert County and Geneva <br />Rogers to the west. There will be a 25 foot no-mining buffer zone starting at the 110 <br />permit boundary. Please see Exhibit `B"-Map. <br />c) A description of the water resources in the area of the proposed operation. <br />The proposed mining area will be partially in an old mining site that has been <br />reclaimed. During that operation it was determined that groundwater was at a depth of 12' <br />and 15'. At that time, the excavation depth was limited to 1' above the groundwater <br />depth. Similar groundwater depths are anticipated, depending on the time of year and <br />precipitation in the area. A minimum 2' of material will be left in place above the <br />groundwater depth. <br />The proposed operation is located in and west of a drainage "swale" (dry <br />creek) that flows north to the Big Sandy Creek, and all of the storm water that flows <br />offsite from the surrounding area will run into a drainage that is a tributary to the Big <br />Sandy Creek. A Stormwater Discharge Permit will be acquired from the State of <br />Colorado Water Resources Division that will be designed to have the existing drainage <br />swale flow through the pit area. The storm water that flows from the pit area will flow <br />through an approximate length of 0.5 miles of the existing drainage swale before it leaves <br />the owner's property. <br />0
